However, the moment his two fingers touched Yao Bingyun's forehead, Wang Lin suddenly stopped. He stared at Yao Bingyun's pale face and fell silent.
"The concept of devouring … is to take someone else's Dao and use it to complete one's own Dao …. However, the Heavenly Dao is endless, and the Grand Dao is boundless. Once I start devouring, I will be endlessly devouring …. I will be walking the same path as Tian Yunzi!
"However, if I don't devour, I won't be able to truly understand Karma. The Dao of Karma will become illusory, unable to truly exist …. To devour … or not to devour?!"
It was rare for Wang Lin to be so hesitant about something.
It wasn't that he felt pity for Yao Bingyun, he was choosing his own Dao, seeking Dao!
This step was extremely important. It was the choice to prove one's Dao. A cultivator's entire life was spent cultivating this Dao. Everyone's Dao was different. Based on one's understanding and experience, one's Dao was ever-changing. Everything in the world could become a Dao!
"Tian Yunzi once said that he had 3,600 incarnations, and each incarnation was a Celestial Art. In my opinion, these 3,600 incarnations are the 3,600 Daos he devoured. He devoured so many Daos, but in the end, he still hasn't reached the third step!
"It has been tens of thousands of years, and he hasn't reached the third step!
"However, if he doesn't devour, he won't be able to grasp the concept of Karma. If he doesn't know the direction to seek his Dao, where would he find it …?"
Wang Lin's face was filled with uncertainty. His eyes were filled with determination and confusion. His right hand was on Yao Bingyun's forehead, but no matter what he did, he couldn't push it down.
Time slowly passed. Before he knew it, three days had passed outside the cave in Mount Horizon Cloud!
During those three days, it felt like three hundred years had passed for Wang Lin. He looked like he had suddenly aged.
During those three days, his body didn't move at all. Only his heart was like raging waves that constantly moved up and down his body.
"The Dao... what is the Dao...?" Wang Lin murmured. During the past three days, he had uttered the same words countless times. It was as if he were asking himself the question, but also as if he were searching for the answer. The confusion in his eyes grew even stronger.
"What exactly … is the Dao …" In his pursuit, he did not notice that the Origin Power in his body had started to circulate slowly, but it had gradually increased in speed. On the third day, it had practically formed a storm within his body, and it was circulating at an almost insane speed.
In the end, it almost came out of his body, forming an elemental energy vortex around him. This elemental energy vortex was colored black and white!
As the black and white vortex spun, it was like Yin and Yang. Although they were fused, they were distinct!
The vortex was getting thicker, stronger, and faster. Wang Lin was completely oblivious to all of this. At this moment, he was completely immersed in his search for his Dao.
His origin soul was also constantly searching, constantly questioning, and constantly pursuing. From the appearance of an ancient thunder dragon, it slowly transformed into a human with the exact same body. It was still sitting there with its right hand raised as if it was pointing somewhere, but it still didn't put it down.
It was as if this finger was Wang Lin's entire life, his life of searching for dao!
Early in the morning, the first ray of sunlight landed on planet Qing Ling. The mortals on the planet all woke up from their dreams and continued their simple and ordinary lives.
The cultivators entered a meditative state and began to absorb the spiritual energy under the rising sun!
However, today, the spiritual energy in the world was extremely active. It was several times denser than before. Almost all the cultivators noticed this and were pleasantly surprised. They immediately found a place to cultivate.
Gradually, some people found that if they cultivated facing the northeast, the amount of spiritual energy they could absorb would be much denser. Therefore, some people immediately flew into the air and headed northeast.
The northeast part of planet Qing Ling was where Heng Yun Mountain was. At this moment, there were already many cultivators tens of thousands of kilometers away from Heng Yun Mountain. They were all cultivating as if they were worshipping.
Often, a moment of cultivation was equivalent to several days of cultivation!
At this moment, the image of the heavens and earth appeared on the Heng Yun Mountain's cauldron. Black and white gas filled the mountain and intersected with each other, forming the image of yin and yang. From afar, the black and white were extremely distinct. With the blue sky as the background, it looked like a painting drawn by someone. It caused everyone who saw this scene to feel a shock that came from their hearts!
This shock came from the soul and spread to the nascent soul. It fused with the origin soul and filled the body. It was as if there was a mysterious force that caused everyone to be immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves.
"What … is dao …" At this moment, an ancient voice echoed in the souls of all the cultivators on planet Qing Ling.
That voice seemed to contain the vicissitudes of life, as if it had experienced all kinds of life. There was also a sense of stubbornness, the majesty of seeking dao. As it spread out, everyone who heard it felt as if they had been struck by lightning and were frozen in place.
Their minds involuntarily followed this sentence and asked themselves.
"What … is dao?!"
On Heng Yun Mountain, the cave around Wang Lin was blown by the wind and turned into dust. It was blown away by the wind and disappeared into the world like fog.
The entire cave disappeared, leaving only Wang Lin and Yao Bingyun, who still hadn't woken up. His finger was still pressed between Yao Bingyun's eyebrows … Above the two of them was the black and white image of the yin and yang fishes. It formed a circle and slowly rotated. The spiritual energy of planet Qing Ling moved with it and slowly spread to the surroundings.
At this moment, if one looked at planet Qing Ling from the stars, they would see that the entire planet was shrouded in black and white. It was an extremely shocking scene!
If someone with the cultivation of the Blood Ancestor passed by, they would be shocked. This scene was called the Dream Dao by those in the second step!
Rumor had it that at the beginning of the world, there was a mortal named Peng Zu. He obtained dao in a dream and condensed an ancient celestial treasure. He left behind a dao heart that could reflect the heavens and earth!
At this moment, Wang Lin was in a state of pursuit, confusion, and confirmation. He was immersed in a dream. It was as if he had left his body and slowly floated into the sky. However, this wasn't his origin soul; his origin soul was still inside his body.
"What … is Dao …" In this strange state, Wang Lin felt his body slowly dissipate and become one with planet Qing Ling. It was as if he was the planet itself.
In a dense forest, a 30-foot-long python wrapped around a small beast that passed by. Its giant body wrapped around the small beast and the sound of bones breaking came from the small beast's body. Just as the python was about to swallow the small beast, its body suddenly trembled.
It raised its head and looked at the sky in the distance. The coldness in its eyes disappeared and was replaced with confusion.
"This isn't Dao …" It let out a sigh like a gust of wind. The confusion in the python's eyes disappeared and was replaced with a ruthless coldness. It swallowed the small beast and disappeared into the distance.
I can't write anymore. This chapter isn't finished; there are still more to follow. I'll update tomorrow.
Today, Er Gen had broken a record. Counting how many words he had written, adding on the words from last night, there were a total of 13,000 words!
This was unprecedented!
Er Gen was an honest person. If he was smart, he would put this chapter on tomorrow and write another three chapters. However, he couldn't do it.
"Seeing that I'm an honest person from the northeast, please give me the guaranteed monthly votes you have hidden … Also, give me the recommendation votes as well. Celestial Renegade only gets 35,000 recommendations a week. This week, Er Gen wants to reach 40,000 recommendations!"
